Sacramento drivers share some of the busiest freeways in Northern California. When a crash happens on Business 80 or a city street, the questions that follow are the same: who wrote the report, where should I be seen, how long do I have, and do I need a lawyer? River City Report answers them in plain English and links the source for each answer.
What the report covers
We cover the City of Sacramento and the rest of Sacramento County. The front page starts with six first steps, then covers Sacramento Police and CHP reports, trauma care and the courthouse, California’s time limits and fault rule and what to check before hiring a lawyer.
The free case review
There is one form, at the top of the front page. It asks when the crash happened, whether another driver caused it, whether you have pain or injury symptoms and whether you already signed with a lawyer. If the answers fit, you add a name and phone number.
We send the request to our partner law firm. Our partner’s automated assistant calls, checks a few details and can connect you with its intake team. The review is free, you do not have to hire an attorney, and our partner decides whether it can help. River City Report is not a law firm and does not give legal advice.
Our sourcing rules are on the editorial policy page, and errors can be reported through corrections.
